Liberal political cartoonists enjoyed promoting their and Planned Parenthood’s spin at our and Susan G. Komen for the Cure’s expense this week.

You know what’s funny? They just seem to think that if Planned Parenthood goes away, no poor people anywhere will ever have health care, ever again.
The government keeps putting billions into Medicaid, but strangely none of these social-justice liberals seem to be aware that it exists.
Clarice-
Love it!
Well, we CAN choose to read the “stupidity” one as “You thought you could get away from Planned Parenthood unscathed once they had you in their clutches.”
Susan G. Komen for the Kill! Somehow I Knew it wouldn’t last.
how about susan g sell out? there is no cure to race for. abortion will continue to cause breast cancer. komen will continue to give money to the abortion mills…..insanity. the definition of insanity….doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results! let the breast cancer continue!
I’ll continue to pray for SGK to see the truth about PP.
Jill, you’re amazing. Your extreme right friends pressured Brinker to drop Planned Parenthood and she did. Following that decision, you encouraged people to donate to Komen. Then, when poor execution forced her to back-peddle, you urged your readers to withdraw their donations to Komen. With friends like you, Komen didn’t need enemies.
So, again, congratulations! You and fellow “pro-life” hardliners helped blow up a decent pro-life organization. They’ve lost support from both the political left and the right. What an achievement! What you didn’t count on was all those “liberals,” which is your code word for anyone who doesn’t agree with you, to totally crush your loose cannons in about one millisecond.
Think for a moment about what the Komen fiasco means in the bigger picture. Heard anything from the Republican or Tea Party leadership lately? The answer is: no, and you won’t. You won’t hear anything, and the reason you won’t is the American people sent a message last week. The message is: stay away, very far away, from pro-choice or suffer the consequences.
You’ve marginalized yourselves, all because a small group of hardliners could not live with the fact that Komen was throwing some pocket change–yes, pocket change–at Planned Parenthood.
You should contact Mr. Arsenault and take him up on his suggestion to burn a few thousand copies of “Polar Express” in celebration of your pyrrhic victory. You could also throw some copies of those recalled pink bibles on the fire as well.
mp……does that stand for moot point??? ah i want to know when a penny of my donation goes for baby killing. how very nice of you pro choicers to say ” keep your laws off my body ” and then you want taxpayers to flip the bill for your dead babies? pffft
The “best” cartoon by far is the last one. And by best I mean it’s the most insane propaganda yet on the Komen fiasco. Komen’s reasons for defunding PP were that PP is under investigation and that aside from feeling women up to check for lumps, PP doesn’t actually do anything to test for breast cancer. When I was in high school the girls were given a 20 minute assembly that instructed them on how to perform a “breast cancer screening” on themselves. It’s not rocket science and it doesn’t cost any money, which makes me wonder exactly what PP actually did with that Komen money.
Why is PP under investigation? For nothing in particular. Just the following:
1 – Illegally using taxpayer funds to help fund 300,000 abortions every year
2 – Failing to report child rape to a degree that dwarfs the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal
3 – Acting as a purely political organization – endorsing candidates, attacking other candidates with vitriolic and abusive language (anti-choice)
4 – Continuing Margaret Sanger’s mission to rid the world of “human weeds”, including the poor, minorities, and people of below average intelligence, as evidenced through their acceptance of donations earmarked specifically for the abortion of black children.
In other words, PP has done absolutely nothing wrong, and only a crazy racist “birther” could possibly have a problem with them. That is the gist of the “best” cartoon.
LOLing at the idiot who made the pro-life guys at the grave one…clearly he doesn’t understand ANYTHING about the pro-life movement, cancer, OR PP.
The notion that defeating Planned Parenthood would make women die of breast cancer is nothing more than an elaborate hoax. As we all know, Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms.
They do clinical breast exams, which are of debatable importance.
Now, some of the trolls at Live Action’s blog have argued that a referral is essential to getting a mammogram, and that Planned Parenthood does do referrals. I’m not entirely convinced that this is truly the case. But even if we assume that it’s true for the sake of the argument, the facts still aren’t on their side. Consider this article:
Now, if you read around the sensationalism and pro-PP bias (I know, isn’t the news media just so objective?) you’ll see that Planned Parenthood did 70000 mammogram referrals in the past five years. This translates to 14000 mammogram referrals per year (though this number is still inflated because the number of breast exams done by Planned Parenthood has actually decreased over time).
According to the CDC, 21.1 million physician appointments result in mammogram referrals per year.
This means that if you do the math, Planned Parenthood does less than a fifteenth of one percent of all mammogram referrals. This past week really proves that if you make a lie big enough, simple enough, and repeat it often enough, eventually people will come to believe it.

i am living proof!!!! i was a pp customer for 14 years. how many mamograms did i have while there? 0 how many of the doctors suggested i have one? 0
Heard anything from the Republican or Tea Party leadership lately? The answer is: no, and you won’t.
Oh, MP. You’re wrong, very wrong…
A heated exchange I once saw on a message board somewhere:
“Keep your laws out of my uterus!”
“Keep your uterus out of my wallet.”
“Now, some of the trolls at Live Action’s blog have argued that a referral is essential to getting a mammogram, and that Planned Parenthood does do referrals. I’m not entirely convinced that this is truly the case. ”
Not sure if it’s the same everywhere, but I don’t need a doctor’s order for a mammogram. I can schedule a mammogram at my community hospital on my own.
“Komen’s reasons for defunding PP were that PP is under investigation …”
Well, Mr. Lewandowski, you’re going to have a little problem here:
“Karen Handel was the prime instigator of this effort, and she herself personally came up with investigation criteria,” the source, who requested anonymity for professional reasons, told HuffPost. “She said, ‘If we just say it’s about investigations, we can defund Planned Parenthood and no one can blame us for being political.'” Emails between Komen leadership on the day the Planned Parenthood decision was announced, which were reviewed by HuffPost under the condition they not be published, confirm the source’s description of Handel’s sole “authority” in crafting and implementing the Planned Parenthood policy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/05/karen-handel-susan-g-komen-decision-defund-planned-parenthood_n_1255948.html?ref=mostpopular
Oh, there’s going to be an investigation. Oh yeah.

I am LITERALLY LAUGHING!!! You pro-aborts are always scoffing at our studies and links and stats and CDC reports etc. as “unfounded” and “shoddy” “biased” “faked” “badly researched” etc. But you present this GEM of typical pro-abort “evidence” with a straight face! Hahahaaa!!!! This is just great! Post some more! I won’t have to blow the usage on downloading a comedy tonight on Netflix! Lol!
BTW, my anonymous source says Cecile Richards literally bathes in the blood of unborn babies because she believes Countess Elizabeth Báthory de Ecsed was a genius who discovered the “Fountain of Youth” was literal, and emails, which I’m not allowed to post, prove it!
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN CHRISTIAN HIPPIE!!!

Mis-characterization.
I am pro-life. You are “pro-life.”

You’ll have to take that up with Jill Stanek and her anonymous source.
Your body, Your choice,
Your responsibility, You pay.
Keep your uterus out of my wallet.
This whole thing with SGK and pp reminds me of that Rehanna music video where the gal does the bump and grind with junior. When he gets too frisky she tells him no, but bubba won’t take no for answer and overules her ‘choice’ with brute force.
Now, lets see if SGK has the capacity to pop a cap in pp’s derriére…figuratively speaking of course
or
shrinks away in fear at the real prospect of even more serious injury at the next rape if she makes pp mad.
Fact:
Cecille Richards baths are paid for with the lives and blood of dead babies.
Also, an investigation into what? A private organization deciding they wanted to pull funding from another private organization? What’s to investigate? It’s their money. SGK could pull funding from PP if they decided that Cecile Richards nose looked funny. They don’t owe PP anything. At all. Twenty-six completely misguided senators notwithstanding.
Absolutely right. Wasn’t there some movie called “Go Ask Alice”? :)

Yes, Alice, of course it’s their money, but that doesn’t exempt them from investigation.
They’re going to be investigated because it appears that some right wing extremists co-opted and destroyed a non-partisan organization doing worthwhile cancer research by politicizing it in order to attack their opponents.
It will play well on the 6 O’Clock news, won’t it?
mp,
Where is your evidence for this undercover sabotage of Komen? It seems to me the protests of the Pro-Life movement have been well-known vis-a-vis PP.
Komen didn’t like the bad publicity. You can’t politicize what is already politicized. If the Boy Scouts donated to the John Birch Society, wouldn’t you expect some political controversy?

Hans, all of this was discussed in the previous threads.
Now, as you’ll see in the link I posted above, someone from Komen (aside from Jill Stanek’s anonymous source) is talking about what happened. And there are emails.
Unlike you, I don’t have “The Truth,” all I have are facts, and the facts point to fingerprints and smoking guns. It will all come out in due course.
As I said, if they were going to do this, they should have had professionals do it, people who would have donned Tyvek coveralls and nitrile glove before pulling the trigger. Instead they brought in a second-stringer named Karen Handel and she just wasn’t up to the job.
Public relations strategizing does not a conspiracy make.

Hans, that may be, and I say that guardedly, but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter.
What matters is perception.
Hans, all of this was discussed in the previous threads.
No, I’m sorry, it wasn’t. What point are you trying to make here? Only pro-aborts are allowed to uphold their principles in their charitable giving? Charitable organizations can not hire pro-lifers? Pro-lifers can’t have political principles? Or pro-lifers can’t ask their bosses to respect those principles? Or can’t ask their bosses to act on them? Or are you saying it’s only political when it’s a pro-life stand? Because lots of businesses and charities make pro-abortion stands. Why aren’t you squawking about them?
Because it seems to me you’re angry because a pro-life person temporarily (and possibly permanently) managed to persuade a well-known group to make a public stand along pro-life principles. And if that’s the case, all that tolerance you supposedly espoused in the trans-Girl Scout thread was just you talking out your rear. If you really think that pro-life principles are only to be kept quiet and never acted on and never brought into the light of day, then you are hereby invited to pack your things and move in with the Devil. That kind of tolerance we can all do without.

No!
Had Komen’s leadership and board of directors announced that they had found “The Pro-Life Truth,” and decided to de-fund Planned Parenthood because of that newly-found Truth, I would have had no objection to their decision to de-fund Planned Parenthood. I wouldn’t have agreed with it, but I would have accepted it. The decision would have generated public controversy, but not outrage.
They didn’t do that. Instead, in a move designed to satisfy “pro-life” activists and defuse the political left, they went behind the curtain–violated the principle of transparency–and devised a deception to make the de-funding of Planned Parenthood appear to be a purely secular decision. If you don’t see that, you don’t know the facts.
Their scheme was morally bankrupt and that is why the American people reacted the way they did.
The fact that the scheme is morally bankrupt has not only destroyed Komen but has, in my estimation, set back the cause of pro-life by at least five to ten years.
Now, who’s walking with the Devil?
…So it’s only okay for people to do things if they do them the way you want them to and frame it the way you like. Yeah, this is just so much more tolerant.

Alice, what is there about the Principle of Transparency that you don’t understand?

mp:
So people are only “transparent” and telling the “truth” when YOU believe them? Otherwise whatever some liberal rag CLAIMS with stellar water-tight evidence
( <— sarcasm btw) must be “transparent” and “true” just because it lines up EXACTLY with what your bias ASSUMED in the first place??
It’s so funny how that EXACT “quote” by Ms. Handel was angrily espoused by every anti-choice pro-abort zealot prefixed by “I bet she was all like totally saying…” long before the HuffPo’s “anonymous source” copy pasted it to ’em! Haha!
Now, some of the trolls at Live Action’s blog have argued that a referral is essential to getting a mammogram, and that Planned Parenthood does do referrals. I’m not entirely convinced that this is truly the case.
You might not be convinced that it is truly the case that a car is powered by internal combustion rather than by hamsters on wheels, but your conviction does not have any bearing on what is actually under the car’s hood. It has been difficult for researchers to isolate the variables that influence who gets a mammogram, and there probably is no single determining factor. But there is evidence that in some circumstances, a referral is critical to getting the test. http://www.hopkinsguides.com/hopkins/ub/citation/18537490/Access_to_diagnostic_mammography_in_the_San_Francisco_Bay_Area_
